Choose your plan
Start with Listed for $25 the first year — directory listing and community. Go Business for $12/month to add marketplace selling, job board, and priority support — join before January 2027 and get Business Gym access free for as long as you're a Business member.
-
Build your business profile
Add your logo, photos, location, hours, and what makes your business worth knowing about. This is what people see when they find you.
-
Show up in the directory
Your listing goes live and becomes searchable by category and location — the first place people look when they need what you offer.
-
Get into the community
Join discussions, ask questions, share wins, and connect with other small business owners who actually get it.
Real people, real businesses. Small Business Connect is built for genuine small businesses — not resellers, not dropshippers, not bots. That's what keeps the directory worth browsing.
